Ear Worms Aplenty!
The definition of an ear worm is defined in Wikipedia as the following:
Earworm, a loan translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a song stuck in one's head, particularly an annoying one. Use of the English translation was popularised by James Kellaris, a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. His studies appeared to demonstrate that different people have varying susceptibilities to earworms, but that almost everybody has been afflicted with one at some time or another.
So I was looking at a friend's sister's myspace page and it had that Romanian pop song that caused was catapulted to popularity because of a web cam lip sync performance by a high school student to the same song. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numa_numa)
Now I can't get the frelling thing out of my head. It's not even that good!
Hopefully some luckless soul will read this and get it stuck in their head, relieving me of this horrible Romanian curse!
